ARTISTS STATEMENT

I've loved contributing to Ishotmyself because it enabled me to explore all of the different components of my body, and really helped me with connecting to it and my sexuality. I used to be quite uncomfortable with being naked because of my lack of confidence. Recently I have begun to be proud of my body through positive sexual experiences and have really learned to love my body. I really believe the best thing for self confidence is self love.
